What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and operate secure, highly available cloud platforms where I can apply Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, observability, and SRE practices to improve reliability and delivery efficiency.

At Stripe, I architect and operate AWS infrastructure across 25+ accounts, 12+ Kubernetes clusters, and 150+ production services. I build cloud-native platforms that support high availability, data platforms, and internal engineering services.

I create reusable infrastructure and delivery workflows with Terraform, OpenTofu, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and Argo CD. My Python and Go automation reduced manual infrastructure operations by 60% while supporting 99.9%+ availability.

Previously at Capital One and AWS, I improved deployment consistency, observability, and incident response across large production environments. I reduced MTTD from 18 minutes to 5 minutes, lowered MTTR by 45%, and increased deployment efficiency by 50%.

I also bring software engineering experience from LuminHealth, where I built Java and .NET applications and supported secure HIPAA- and HITRUST-compliant healthcare deployments. I work across AWS, Azure, and GCP with a focus on Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, security, and practical SRE operations.
